      – Annoying midi tune

    Need marquee texts!!! Lots of em! And GIFs, and neon fonts, and spinny email icon. How about a page counter at the end plus a guestbook?

      Agreed, I’ve been using it so long my first thought was “gah! look at those banners!” before realising the joke was actually in the article formatting…

      I honestly don’t think I could read Kotaku with those sitting there, and it’s not because I’m against advertising, but because it’s just visually offensive.

    Well, at least the popup “share” thing won’t get in my way this way…

      YES!
      I hate the damn share button. I wish there was a way to remove it completely from all sites.
      Its worse when it pops up and doesnt close.
      Its always pops up over important buttons and links. Very frustrating.

        The Greasemonkey plugin should be able to help with that, some code to find the div class=”share” and do a bit of style.display=”none” =)
